Ha! I had that exact same thought the other day. Another month locked up at home is an opportunity to shred, particularly as food supplies run low*
I looked at the last weight chart I set up on New Year and projected I should be about this weight a month ago, so...
However, the doctor did warn me that one cholesterol issue (a partial blockage in one artery) could also be related to my weight loss efforts a couple of years back. Can't win, really
If I target 500g per week, then by end of April I'll be at around 98.
*Note: My wife is half italian. Food will never run low

@mariner4life getting my 3year old to ink me up brah. Probably end up with better tats than most lol.

I moved to Bali 3 months ago, weighed 105kgs.
Didn't really ramp up the exercise massively given heat and humidity, but totally changed eating habits. Ate much earlier in the evening, smaller portions. Cut a lot of wine out.
Left Bali a few weeks ago at 96kgs.
Currently in Queenstown working on restoring my former glory.

Just looked at the private health for my operation - I paid $70 out pocket at the hospital, and another $75 for follow up medication and radiology.
Health fund paid out nearly TWENTY. FUCKING. THOUSAND.
Last time I'll bitch about the premiums... For a while...

Weather has been shit lately for the most part. And I've been enjoying beer.
But I have a goal: Next stress echo is on May 13th, and the doc said I should be back running by then.
So that means I've got to have a plan! This week i need to resume running (of a sort) and build into a 5km run so let's do this Monday/Wednesday/Friday of each week, with maybe a bike ride Sundays:
Week 1: 3km jog/shuffle at any pace
Week 2: 3km under 19.5 minutes (6:30/km)
Week 3: 5km jog/shuffle any pace
Week 4: 5km under 35 minutes
Week 5: 5km under 30 minutes
Week 6: 5km under 28 minutesReckon that is achievable if the circulatory system stands up to it. By the time I hit that treadmill, shirtless and covered in electrodes, I reckon I'll avoid making a complete idiot out of myself in front of the cute little radiologist.
EDIT: will bookend the 3km work with 1km walking each end as a warm up / cool down. No need to be stupid. If I consistently hit the goals early, I'll bring things forward.

@voodoo I tend to not bother with the heart rate - if the vision starts to fade then I know I'm overdoing it.
I should probably do a post-run measure and then a 5 minute recovery just to track it. I don't have any fancy doodads hooked up to Strava.

Much better in terms of pace BUT I went out a little too hard on the first km (6:12) and the vision got a little dim a couple of minutes later. Decided to increase breathing rate which seemed to help a little for second km (6:19), and then relaxed into the last one (6:38).
No idea why the "moving time" above is different to the lap splits
For @voodoo I did a 124BPM straight after the run and then 102BPM 5 minutes later
Probably room to stretch myself but not yet...

Nice one Nick. Def best not to stretch to quickly. The moving time looks right doesn't it? Your 3 laps add to 19:09, then add an extra 4 seconds for the extra .01 of a km you did before you hit the stop button!

Ah yes, that would make sense. I added an extra 10 seconds in there I think and went over.

Strava cheats for you a little, and cuts out time if you stop (at lights. being tired etc) i find the Garmin app to be the most accurate, the Strava to be the fastest (not by much usually, a few seconds here or there)

I have found a minor issue with the segments thing, in that on one of the trails I run regularly, I assume it all comes down to the exact point of entry to a segment via the satellite, otherwise it treats it as another segment all together, I have done the trail twice a week, and sometimes both are on different segments, despite following the same track.

That's the thing - besides turning one corner sharper than 90 degrees, I didn't actually stop when crossing the street at all.
Anyway, good enough for a fat old bastard.
